38 But now, Lord, you have become angry with your chosen king, and you have left him all alone.
39 You ended the agreement you made with your servant. You threw the king’s crown into the dirt.
40 You pulled down the walls of his city. You destroyed all his fortresses.
41 Everyone passing by steals from him. His neighbors laugh at him.
42 You made all the king’s enemies happy and let his enemies win the war.
43 You helped them defend themselves. You did not help your king win the battle.
44 You did not let him win. You threw his throne to the ground.
